Pilot programme

What a pilot actually involves.

One pitch, a defined scope agreed before any hardware ships, and clear boundaries on what the system measures versus what it never decides. Not general availability. A defined kit, a setup sequence, and clear boundaries on what the system measures versus what it never decides.

What arrives

The canonical kit.

PP-A210
Buffered field anchors
Six per full pitch · store-and-forward
PP-S110
Chest sensors + straps
Soft pod · athletic elastic under jersey
PP-S150
UWB ball tag
Continuous measured ball
PP-G210
Goal corner tags
Plane-crossing geometry
PP-G220
Pitch survey tag
Setup only · removed before kick-off
PP-M620
Kit Control
Venue ops app · kit_token auth

Optional — most pilots do not use these

PP-C310
Sideline live compute
Law 11 / Goal live path · integrity-gated
PP-I410
Referee watch app
Only when a referee is in the game and wants Law 11 / Goal M1

Per-device specifications are published on the hardware pages.

Match day

Roughly two hours the first time.

Repeat sessions are operational, not research projects. The long part is the first survey.

  1. T−120
    Power and survey

    Six anchors powered, mesh self-check, goal tags mounted, guided pitch survey walk. Geometry is enabled only if the survey passes.

  2. T−60
    Roster and fit

    Bind sensor crypto IDs to the roster, fit straps, ranging smoke test, single-ball track quality sample.

  3. T−30
    Integrity drills

    Verify the system correctly suppresses advisories under forced uncertainty, and that a dual-ball condition raises a visible alert.

  4. T−15
    Officials and coach

    Pair PP-I410 only if a referee is in the game and wants Law 11 / Goal M1. Brief officials plainly: advisory only, you decide. Coach portal access confirmed.

  5. Kick-off
    Live

    Coach portal fills progressively. Anchors record regardless. We monitor; we do not intervene in the match.

  6. T+30
    Tear-down

    Collect pods, dock and charge, export the session and integrity log, remove goal tags if leaving the venue.

Exit criteria

What we call success.

  • No safety or wearability blockers reported by players or staff
  • The pitch survey reproduces — two independent walks both pass at ≤ 0.35 m residual
  • Integrity drills pass: advisories are suppressed when confidence is not earned
  • Zero cross-team data leakage, verified against the scoped-pull log
  • The club asks for an extended trial
Abort conditions

What we will stop for.

We will downgrade or abort rather than produce a result we cannot stand behind.

  • Four strong corner pins unobtainable after two re-walks
  • Residual persistently above 0.35 m with anchors fixed
  • Fewer than four anchors reporting for more than 60 seconds during live
  • An unresolved dual-ball condition staff cannot clear
  • Any wearability or safety complaint from a player — immediate stop
  • Any suspicion of cross-team data leakage
Boundaries

What a pilot is not.

Not an auto-referee. No automatic fouls, cards, or binding offside decisions.
No permanent tags left on the grass. The survey tag comes off before kick-off.
No requirement for stadium Wi-Fi. Personal and club value never depend on it.
No mixing of surfaces. The ops app never shows squad personal data; the athlete app never sends control commands.
AetherendPrecision. Performance. Power.

Scope before gear.

Tell us the venue, the timeline, and the decision the system needs to support. We agree boundaries first — that is the whole point of a constrained pilot.

We reply within two business days. PitchPulse and FieldPulse are covered by pending patent applications.
